The 30 most famous movie quotes of all time still used today - how many do you remember?

Bruce Willis stars as the All-American action hero John McClane in the Die Hard franchise. While each instalment has Bruce taking on a new, dangerous mission, there's a single line that's made it into the cultural zeitgeist further than any other.

Bing Crosby is the unexpected brain behind this phrase which features on ‘I’m An Old Cowhand’ and was popularised by the star of The Roy Rogers Show, which Bruce and co-screenwriter Steven de Souza both grew up on. Round it off with an R-rated curse and you've made movie history.

Jeff Goldblum's trademark delivery makes almost every one of his lines quotable. Aside from his words of warning – "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should" – this is perhaps his most famous phrase.

It's this stuttered philosophical saying that taught viewers evolution will find a way to overcoming any amount of human planning. It turns out, in the case of Jurassic Park at least, he was right. 

She's the one that Danny wanted, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah! When Grease star Olivia Newton-John swapped her poodle skirt and pastel cardigan for skin-tight leather it left a lasting impression on cinema – as did her sassy delivery of this famous line.

Whenever the soundtrack is put on pause, it's immortal quotes like "She looks too pure to be pink!" and "You can't just walk out of a drive-in" that are still slipped easily into conversation.

Sometimes a simple grudge won't cut it. In the case of Russell Crowe's Gladiator, Maximus' anger threatens to last generations as he faces up to the corrupt emperor Commodus.

But it's only part of his iconic speech that begins: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife." And he will have his revenge.

One of Robin Williams' best-loved film appearances cast him as English professor John Keating. He teaches his students the value of dreams, ideas and non-conformity, encouraging them to live extraordinarily.

John labels the pursuits of medicine, law, business, and engineering noble and important to our survival, but argues it is the art of "poetry, beauty, romance, love" that we stay alive for.

Tim Robbins stars alongside Morgan Freeman as Andy Dufresne, a banker arrested for murdering his wife and her lover, who finds himself imprisoned for life at Shawshank prison.

Andy's immortal line, "Get busy living or get busy dying," is uttered before his escape and argues for choosing hope over complacency, a fate Morgan Freeman's Redding has accepted.

Twilight soon had the world invested in the love triangle between sparkly vampire Edward Cullen, werewolf Jacob Black and ordinary high school student Bella Swan.

One particularly unforgettable moment comes right at the start of the franchise as Kristen Stewart's Bella confirms her vampiric suspicions and confronts Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, head on. Faced with this heavy question, his hedgy answer "A while..." cements Bella's theory.

The Monty Python crew found fame with their slapstick humour and penchant for the ridiculous. In Monty Python's Life of Brian, ordinary Brian is born on the same day as Christ and mistaken for the Messiah. 

This misunderstanding leads him on a comedy journey that his mother Mandy, played by Terry Jones, isn't all too happy about and she doesn't hesitate to tell him off.

What did you want to be when you grew up? A fireman or nurse perhaps, maybe a vet or a dancer? For Ray Liotta's Henry Hill, he dreamed of being a gangster and it's these opening words that set up Goodfellas with a warning of mob life's dangerous appeal.

According to Henry, the freedom and respect from a neighbourhood of nobodies makes it better than being president. It might not live up to Henry's fantasies in the end, but that hasn't stopped Goodfellas from becoming a classic of the big screen. 

In the 1964 film, Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins wins the Banks children's love with a world of adventure. It probably helps that the nanny is (according to her own magical tape measure) "practically perfect in every way". 

With a spoonful of sugar, Mary was ready to step in time into the world of animated carousels and won audiences over at the same time.

The only thing more famous than Judy Garland's Dorothy, her ruby slippers and the trio of colourful characters who skip down the yellow brick road is this famous phrase. 

Best used as an excuse to leave a party early or a fun way to ease the holiday disappointment when the car is all packed up and ready to go, there really is no place quite like home.

Rhett Butler has made many women swoon, but it takes him a little longer to win over Scarlett O'Hara. When she finally moves on from the too-perfect Ashley, realising her love for Rhett, it all comes too late.

While Rhett gets the last word in, Scarlett closes Gone with the Wind more hopefully as she declares, "Tomorrow is another day". The couple that coins iconic phrases together, hopefully has a chance of staying together.

Ah, young love. Despite what Love Story claims, love doesn't excuse you from the occasional apology – especially if you've grabbed the last chocolate truffle from the selection box.

But in 1970, Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal headed up the romantic drama, Ali's words addressed to Ryan are later passed on to his father in the film's final moments.

It is tantamount to law that Braveheart's famous phrase should be recited in your best Scottish accent. Blue face paint and large wooden shield are, of course, optional extras.

Mel Gibson's famous battle cry is one of cinema's best-loved moments and enough to send shivers down any viewer's spine as William Wallace leads his men in a fight for Scotland.

The year 1977 saw cinema changed forever with the dawn of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. General Jan Dodonna signs off his rebel fighters with these immortal words, while Han Solo's farewell to Luke has a slightly snarkier undertone.

Obi-Wan Kenobi also gets in on the action, but with a slight variation: "Remember, the Force will be with you...always". Nerd culture officially got its slogan while we all adopted a much more interesting 'goodbye'.

Liam Neeson's star role in Taken involves a rather threatening itinerary. In full, his famous line reads: “If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

Chilling stuff. His promise of retribution has been endlessly quoted in its shorter form, but true fans have got the entire scene off-book, ready for any dramatic phone call.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any good phrase in movie history, must be used at any opportunity. When Jane Austen's Emma got a '90s makeover in Clueless (1995), Cher Horowitz instantly became one of teen cinema's best-loved characters.

We're still jealous about her outfit planning computer programme and that iconic slip dress, and we're still quoting 'As if!' at any opportunity. Do as Cher does and send any unwanted suitors away without a care.

Robert De Niro is acting royalty for a reason and certainly showed off his chops in Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic Taxi Driver. 

In fact, the actor improvised his iconic line "You talkin' to me?" while his character Travis Bickle acts out an imagined confrontation in the mirror.  

James Bond spoof hero Austin Powers has made his way into the public lexicon to an even greater extent than his 007 cousin. 

From coyly quoting "Oh, behave!" to the pinky propped saying "One million dollars!", the franchise has plenty of catchphrases to choose from. But it's "Groovy, baby!" that we keep coming back to at every occasion.

Jerry Maguire may have had us at hello, but it's "Show me the money!" we're still quoting to this day. As Rod Tidwell says, you've got to yell it for the full effect.

From gifs to custom mugs, it's an almost inescapable phrase that any movie buff likes to slip into conversation wherever possible.

Best used for comedic effect when you're disappearing for about 30 seconds, "I'll be back" has everyone trying to imitate Arnold Schwarzenegger's trademark line and recognisable accent to the best of their (limited) abilities.

The bodybuilder, actor and former Governor of California has certainly made his mark on cinema but it's this calmly uttered phrase before he crashes a police car through the station that's stayed in our minds.

It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly (show) business. The Godfather brought Marlon Brando's mob boss to the big screen in the almost three-hour crime epic. 

Whether your offer is as persuasive as Brando's doesn't matter too much, the quote's power comes entirely in the delivery and the ridiculous nature of your proposed swap. 

While the fact of whether it's actually a corner Patrick Swayze finds Jennifer Grey in, or just an unfortunately placed pillar, has been thoroughly debated, Dirty Dancing's famous phrase itself has been firmly lodged in conversations since the '80s. 

It likely helps that the saying was first uttered on-screen by heartthrob Johnny Castle and led to one of cinema's most iconic dance sequences.

Tom Cruise is happily at home in our list of iconic movie quotes already, but this time it's scene partner Jack Nicholson who delivered the memorable phrase. 

Colonel Jessup screams to Cruise's Lieutenant Kaffee in defence of his harsh methods, arguing that civilian morals are facilitated by the actions of the military.

This villainous phrase has been stripped of some of its power as many movie fans decide to utter it to comedic effect on a particularly sunny day, or when there's a particularly strange whiff in the air.

In Apocalypse Now, the saying has a far more sinister reality: Robert Duvall delivers it after a huge napalm strike on a Vietnamese beach so his soldiers could surf. 

Arriving in the middle of a tense situation or simply want to make an impact down a suitably splendid staircase? There's no better inspiration than Gloria Swanson's Norma Desmond.

The more eccentric the outfit and the bigger the crowd the better. Make sure your (imagined) last steps of freedom are drop-dead gorgeous like they do in Sunset Boulevard. 

Not many movie quotes become so iconic that they are quoted back on the screen. The Graduate's Mrs Robinson has inspired series like The Simpsons, rom-com Rumor Has It... and American Pie. 

In fact, Mrs Robinson herself has become the definitive example of on-screen flirtations between young men and older women.

It's the phrases that best sum up our day-to-day that stay with us best. Ever bitten into a truffle hoping for gooey caramel and getting sickly strawberry cream? Then you'll likely relate to Forrest Gump's oft-quoted saying.

Tom Hanks brings the varied and touching story of Forrest and his lifelong love for girl-next-door Jenny to life and is regularly quoted whenever something doesn't go quite to plan.

While Al Pacino in Scarface had terrifying intentions with his so-called 'friend', nowadays, the phrase is just as likely to be said humorously holding your brand new kitten.

Uttered during the film's climax, the delivery pre-empts a slew of violence by the villainous Tony Montana at the heart of 1983's Scarface. 

Casablanca is a classic among classics. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid, the film defined star-crossed love for the cinema age.

In its closing scenes, right after a tear-jerking end, Humphrey's Rick walks off with Claude Rains' Captain Louis Renault, an unlikely friendship that takes the pair to join the Free French forces.
